Until 1753 the peasantry Vorhalle belonged to the office of Wetter, after that it became part of the district of Wetter, whose administrative seat was in Hagen. During the French rule the vestibule of Mairie Enneperstraße was subordinate to the district of Hagen after the Prussian territorial reform as part of the Enneperstraße .

Since 1884 Vorhalle belonged to the Boele-Hagen district and three years later it was incorporated into the Boele district. In 1920 the vestibule achieved the status of an unofficial community. Just nine years later, the community was incorporated into the city of Hagen.
